Gave up two games with Florida State to play James Madison in Washington DC

We can not get out of that game because of $$$$ we would lose the additional 500k that we are getting when we go there any play BYU in 2016 they gave us a larger pay day to play BYU if we came and played JMU.

We can not get ride of Marshall because that would be even one less home game next season and the lose of more $$$

Reported $1Mill JM buyout, and $1Mill in revenue for the HOME Marshall game. And we are still slated to play the 2013 game unless they buy us out. If Pitt and Cuse go to the ACC in 2013 they may need to buy us out to create room in there schedule. here is a good article explaining ithttp://wvgazette.com/Sports/WVU/201202040026

I was looking forward to it too, but its not all about you. j/k...In all seriosness I am disappointed, but I understand the logistic and finance sense it makes to drop the one game compared to the other options. I live in Mobile Alabama, so it would have been the only game I could have went to fairly easily. But I would rather be in the Big 12 so I am not all that disappointed.

Weren't there allegedly a couple B12 schools that needed to fill spots on their schedule from already having TCU scheduled, and Mizzou and A&M leaving? I wonder if one of them has made arrangements to pick up this game? I mean any of those could be seen as a comparable team.
